More Than 12K Nevada Volunteers Say I'm In
for President Obama During 2012 Democratic Caucuses

Las Vegas, NV – With 90% of precincts reporting, more than 12,000
volunteers said “I’m in” for President Obama at today’s Nevada
Democratic Caucuses. Volunteers across Nevada gathered at 118
caucus
locations and 1,553 precincts to organize and discuss President Obama's
vision for a job-creating economy that's built to last – one where hard
work pays, responsibility is rewarded, and everyone does their fair
share and plays by the same rules.

An important opportunity to engage supporters, the more than
12,000 who came out for this non-competitive contest will make up the
core of the volunteer organization working to re-elect President Obama
and elect Democrats up and down the ticket in Nevada.

However, while today was an important step in organizing
volunteers to win in November, it was hardly the beginning. Since
the
launch of President Obama’s re-election campaign in April, Nevada staff
and volunteers have held over 1,500 trainings, planning sessions, house
parties and phone banks. Additionally, they've made over 522,000 calls
to supporters, held over 4,000 one-on-one meeting and opened three
offices in Las Vegas, Reno and Henderson.

98.3% of delegates were awarded to President Obama to attend the
April 14th Nevada Democratic County Convention and June 9-10 State
Convention. They will elect the delegates to the Democratic
National
Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina in September.

“I am excited that over 12,000 enthusiastic volunteers said ‘I’m
in’ for President Obama today,” said Nevada State Democratic Party
Chair Roberta Lange. “Nevada Democrats are energized and ready to
get
to work to re-elect President Obama to create jobs and restore economic
security for Nevada’s middle class. Nevadans will have a clear
choice
between President Obama’s commitment to creating jobs and helping
struggling homeowners stay in their homes, and a Republican like Mitt
Romney who built his career laying off American workers while shipping
their jobs overseas, and who told Nevadans facing foreclosure they are
on their own.”
